DevOps Dozen 2019 Nominations Are Now Open

Nominations are now open for the 2019 DevOps Dozen. The DevOps Dozen acknowledges the best of the best in DevOps both companies and people.

The DevOps Dozen awards are back and now open for nominations. This fifth annual DevOps Dozen honors the best of the best—the leaders and innovators in the DevOps community. This year’s awards will include 12 categories, including three new ones, with a winner chosen from each. As in years past, the top four to six nominees in each category will become finalists, who will be selected based upon the number of nominations they received. Nominations are made by you, the audience, and you can nominate up to two entrants in each category; however, you can nominate someone only once. In addition, everyone nominating will be required to provide their name and email address to help stem any potential ballot-stuffing. The winners will be selected by our esteemed panel of judges.

This category recognizes the best consultant/solutions provider in DevOps—those helping companies in their DevOps journeys.

Best DevOps Practitioner of the Year (New)

DevOps is a team effort and team success depends on the work of every member. However, there always are few who go above and beyond the call of duty. Their passion, energy and enthusiasm is contagious. This category recognizes these real humans of DevOps.

Best DevOps Solution Provider Executive

We want to recognize the top executive at a DevOps tools or solution provider—not an executive leading a DevOps transformation within a company. Nominees can be any C-level executive, GM or SVP.

Thank you again for your enthusiastic response to last year’s awards. The full list of 2018 finalists and winners are available to view here.

Also, the product/technology-specific DevOps Dozen awards now will be part of our DevOps Tools Guide and Awards. This new initiative is our effort to create a comprehensive listing of tools and tools vendors to help end users better understand the DevOps market landscape, and to enable DevOps.com to recognize the top vendors in each category through its annual DevOps Tools Awards. To be included in this year’s guide, please complete the survey.

There are so many great companies and people involved in DevOps that it’s always difficult to pick the winners. We know some worthy choices will not be voted tops in their category; however, acknowledging them in our awards process helps show how important they are in the DevOps space.

As stated earlier, the top four to six nominees in each category will be designated as finalists, who then can submit a presentation on why they deserve the award to judges@devops.com. Finalists will be announced the second week of November and the winners, who will be chosen by our panel of judges, will be announced in December.

If you have questions, send them to DD@devops.com. Voting for finalist nominees is open for three weeks, so don’t waste any time—nominate your favorites today. Good luck to everyone vying to be one of the DevOps Dozen 2019!
